Do-It-Yourself / Publishing Tool / Content
Management Systems (CMS)
Editing your Web site is as easy as writing a letter
Commonly used icons and a familiar interface make MostlyWeb's
CMS easy to learn and use. The diagram below shows our CMS
Toolbar which lets you format pages without having to know
anything about HTML. Upload and insert images, format text,
links, create bullet or numbered lists, and so on, all with
the click of a button and drag-and-drop functionality.

Myths |
Myth #1
Utilizing MostlyWeb's CMS entails switching hosts.
False: Use whatever host you are comfortable
with. If you are looking for a host, however,
we will gladly recommend one.
Myth #2 Once I start using
the CMS, I am tied to MostlyWeb.
False: You can stop using our CMS at
any time. Your server always has the most current
files on it. When you stop using the CMS, you
will simply have to revert to using an HTML
editor to update your site.
Myth #3 We are limited to
what is offered by the CMS.
False: We can easily add on to the CMS
or integrate custom functionality as needed.
Myth #4 A CMS either lacks
functionality or is expensive.
False: The majority of your Web budget
and/or resources are spent on maintenance. By
letting you make routine edits and add content
yourself, you will start saving money shortly
after we set you up in the MostlyWeb CMS.

Time-based Publishing
One of the challenges with any site is to ensure the content
stays current. This entails publishing information as soon
as it becomes available and removing (or archiving) it before
it gets 'stale'. Nothing sets a worse tone than when your
home page promotes a past event or old news.
The MostlyWeb CMS provides an easy solution to this problem.
When you add or edit a page, you can specify when it should
appear for the first time and when it should be (automatically)
deleted or moved to an archive page.
Template-based Solution
Our CMS makes extensive use of templates. These templates
allow you to choose from several common layouts for your
content and listings (a.k.a. index or jump) pages.
Future MostlyWeb CMS Upgrades
By separating the way your site looks from the way it works,
we can provide our customers with periodic CMS upgrades
without having to re-tool your site. This way you can benefit
from our continued development without having to spend a
lot of money down the road.
A Customized Solution
We can incorporate custom features to our CMS as needed.
For instance, if your site uses a unique navigation scheme,
content layout, forms, cart, gadget, and so on, we can incorporate
this functionality.
Since 1996, MostlyWeb has been creating Web sites that
utilize CMS solutions and various other types of support
applications. We believe that the most cost-effective solution
is one that enables you to make daily edits and additions
while having us perform the more involved changes and enhancements
as they come up.
